In Feb. we had a discussion about probiotics and what we use. I wrote that I use DogZymes from Natures Farmacy and listed the ingredients. After that, Evan wrote:

My experience with the Symflora has been better than dogzymes. If they work for you great, I think they are one of the better products out there.
The Symflora, just has less ingredients. Why do you need the egg and Baking Soda in there (calcium carbonate)

Just wanted to clear it up as I said that I thought there was nothing wrong with the egg but didn't know about the baking soda (calcium carbonate). I wrote to the company. The answer to the baking soda is,,,,that calcium carbonate is NOT baking soda.
Calcium Carbonate is a calcium source. It is CaHCO3. Egg shell is one example of calcium carbonate. Baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3 as I recall). Both are used as antacids. Soda bicarb was in the past the only antacid and the concern with pregnant women was the sodium. Calcium carbonate is an added source of calcium for pregnant women and bitches,
